Re: BT5 KDE 64bit - startx problem

Well if removing the cache directories in your home folder doesn't fix the problem, like it was on my machine, you also have to delete the /var/tmp/kdecache-<username> folder. It will also remove any modifications like added panels, icons added to the panel and so on. I will dig further into that issue to see which files and/or directories are exactly causing the issue.

this worked for me and i then installed backtrack and upon restart i had the "startx" problem again, i put in these commands again and now it's working fine every time i reboot, hope this helps as it has me

Re: BT5 KDE 64bit - startx problem

I have an HP Pavillion dv6 Laptop. I've have been trying all the fixes on this thread tirelessly with no results. After I do all the commands and startx, I only see the first loading icon light up and then it goes to a black screen with the mouse pointer in the middle. I'm using the live CD, I cant even start to install BT
I have Windows 7 and Ubuntu running right now. Any additional help would be really appreciated.
Thanks.
